Unequivocally yes. You are clearly not engaging in good faith and tolerance of malicious disinfo is basically the main problem currently facing our culture.

So you advocate your own posting taking its natural course and dying off? I can think of a way you can hurry up this process.

Yeah I was worried this could become a problem, because I imagine a lot of chuds are turned off of lemmy because of the tankie devs. Which makes sense. But I don't think they should be welcome here, either. I'm trying to get away from that authoritarian shit, not get closer to the even worse kind of authoritarian shit.

No one needs to see this, you are throwing out extremely basic arguments that all of us encounter every day in this regressive society. You aren't speaking truth to power, you're just being part of the power right now. You aren't making yourself look good and you aren't making the world a better, freer, more nuanced, or happier place.

People: Hey, stop being a jackass.

Conservatives: OMG, yoU WANT TO CREATE A FAR LeFTIST ECHO CHAMBER

Every fucking time.

Some countries have actually legalized squatting in certain situations (like if a building is long term empty) to put some fire under the landlord’s ass to either find a paying tenant or sell. And honestly I think it’s an inelegant but effective solution.

It’s not productive to have real estate units sitting empty in the middle of the city and we simply shouldn’t allow it.

Russia Civil War? (www.theguardian.com)
submitted 1 year ago by kestrel7@kbin.social to c/news@kbin.social

Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, said publicly that the war was waged on false grounds. In response, the Russian Army shelled a bunch of Wagner soldiers, killing many of them. Now, it seems like fighting is starting between Russian Army soldiers and Wagner soldiers around Rostov.

"FSB opens criminal case after Yevgeny Prigozhin accuses Russia’s military of attack and says ‘evil’ leadership must be stopped"

“This is not a military coup, this is a march of justice" -- Prigozhin, head of Wagner

I thought it was more that if you killed them in OTHER ways, they would come back to life. The stake through the heart is to make sure a vampire is good and actually dead, and not just hibernating.

Who could have possibly seen this coming

[-] kestrel7@kbin.social 29 points 1 year ago

That is a fucking great question coming from the people who are literally in charge of regulating these sorts of things.

OK so when I downvote something it turns red. This is great and perfect. Is there a way I can have something turn blue when I upvote it? I keep upvoting posts 2x because I'm not sure if I've already upvoted them or not.

You use terminal because you know what you are doing.

I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90's movie.

We are not the same.

Nice, fuck alcohol. I quit drinking years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. My life is so much simpler and more fun now.

[-] kestrel7@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Except for, you know, the land, and the wealth, and the social power. What a weirdo.

Remember, Digg dying helped Reddit, but it didn't make Reddit. Reddit was already fairly well-established when Digg shat the bed. It was really easy for people to glom onto a pre-existing community that already had some people who posted on both Reddit and Digg. Lemmy and kbin aren't nearly as big or feature-complete now as Reddit was when all that Digg drama went down. However, we work with what we have, haha.
